Polyfunctionality Assessment of HCV-Specific T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PBMC at 1 × 106 cells in 100 µl R10 were stimulated with peptide pools (F+G+H = NS3/4, I+L+M = NS5A/B) or PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate)/ionomycin (50 and 500 ng/ml respectively), or unstimulated (DMSO). Brefeldin-A was added (10 µg/ml) 1 h later, cells were incubated overnight (37 °C), stained with fixable-NIR live/dead dye (Life Technologies), fixed (1% paraformaldehyde) and permeabilised (Foxp3 Fix/Perm kit, BD Biosciences) then stained with the following antibodies at room temperature for 30 mins: CD3-PO (Pacific Orange; Invitrogen, UCHT1), CD4-Qdot 605 (Invitrogen, S3.5) CD8-PB (Pacific Blue; BD biosciences, RPA-T8), IFNγ-Alexa Fluor 700 (BD biosciences, XMG1.2), IL-2-APC (BD biosciences, 5344.111), and TNFα-PE-Cy7 (BD biosciences, MAb11). Flow cytometry was performed using a BD LSRII and analysis by FlowJo (Tree Star) version 10.4.1. All ICS data are corrected for background (cytokine production in paired DMSO wells).
Pestle version 1.8 and Spice version 6.0 were used for background subtraction, data formatting, and data visualization for polyfunctionality assessment of ICS data. Samples with a total T cell response to HCV NS of <0.025% of CD4+ or CD8+ T cells were excluded. Pie base, means.

Multiparametric Flow Cytometry Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were incubated at 4°C with fixable live/dead aqua dye (Life Technology) for 20 minutes and then washed with PBS + 2% FBS. Cells were then treated with FcR block (BD Biosciences) for 10 minutes at RT prior to a 20-minute incubation with primary antibodies at 4°C. Samples used for intracellular staining were fixed and permeabilized with the FoxP3 fix/perm kit (BD Biosciences) prior to incubation at RT for 30 minutes with antibodies targeting intracellular proteins. Flow analyses were performed using either BD LSR II or BD LSRFortessa flow cytometers housed within the Unified Flow Cytometry Core at the University of Pittsburgh. Flow cytometry data were acquired using BD FACSDiva software and analyzed using FlowJo V.10. The antibodies used in flow-based studies are listed in Supplementary Table 1 with the gating strategies depicted in Supplementary Figure 1.

Hypoxia Mapping in Murine Tissues

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were injected with pimonidazole hydrochloride in PBS (80mg/kg; Hypoxyprobe) intraperitoneally 1.5 hours prior to sacrifice. Tissues were dissected and processed as described above. For flow cytometry studies, pimonidazole was visualized using anti-pimonidazole antibodies (Pacific Blue Mab-1 clone 4.3.11.3; Hypoxyprobe) after cells were fixed for 20 min at 4°C using the FOXP3 Fix/Perm kit (BD Biosciences), and washed in permeabilization buffer. For imaging studies, dissected tumors were embedded in OCT and sectioned into 10μm cryosections. Cryosections were stored at −80°C until further use. For immunostaining, sections were fixed in 4% PFA (Electron Microscopy Sciences) for 20 minutes at RT, followed by a rinse in PBS containing 1% BSA (Sigma). Sections were blocked in 1% BSA in PBS containing anti-CD16/32 (BioXCell) for 1 hour at RT, and washed. Sections were stained with CD11b-AF594 (clone M1/70;BioLegend), CD31-AF647 (clone 390;BioLegend) and Pacific Blue Mab-1 (clone 4.3.11.3;Hypoxyprobe) for 1 hour at RT, followed by a wash and mounted using Vectashield (Vector Laboratories) and sealed with nail polish. Images were acquired on a Leica SP8 confocal microscope. Data analysis was performed using Imaris (Bitplane).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
